After teaching literature for 30 years, John Van Rys has written a book himself. Moonshine Promises, a collection of linked stories based on his own life, has just been published by Wipf & Stock Publishers of Eugene, Oregon. Owing something to the magic and madness of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, as well as to the flip books of his childhood, and the Canadian classics he has taught for decades, it’s a comic romp that also risks some sentiment without being sentimental. Tune in to learn more.
